Antonio Conte said on Thursday he would welcome January reinforcements to help the club cope with their domestic and European commitments.

The Chelsea boss has often spoken of the difficulties of balancing the demands of the hectic fixture schedule with his small squad.

"If there is the possibility to improve the squad numerically it would be a good choice," said Conte, who led Chelsea to the Premier League title last season.

"I'm ready to continue to play with all these players. They are showing me great commitment, great behaviours.

"At the same time if there is the possibility to improve our squad, I think the club will try to do this."

Chelsea, third in the Premier League and through to the semifinals of the League Cup and the Champions League knockout stages, will be without club record signing Alvaro Morata at Everton on Saturday.
